This type of assist to shot conversion is indicative of a player who frequently drives to the basket and creates easy opportunities for his teammates. In fact, one could argue that a flaw of Knight is that he doesn't find three point shooters enough since he so frequently is driving to the basket. However, with the lineup changes, I would assume he assists leading to three pointers will have increased a bit since 11/21.

So to assert the Knight is a bad point guard becuase he doesn't pass when he drives, and he doesn't put the ball down low to his teammates. Is absurd.

I have to ask... Do you even watch the games?

Who the freak are you. Are you Gators significant other? I don't look at crap stats like that. Cause those same stats portrayed stuckey has a hall of famer back when he was a point guard. Bring up stuckeys point guard numbers 3 years ago and see how "amazing" those were.

I have seen Knight find more open 3 point shooters then he does people in the paint.

Maybe you don't understand misleading stats as well eh? How many times have we gotten blown out? and how many times have we blown out teams? If you actually watch the games you'll see a lot of knights "assists" come in during garbage time. Oh but no, we won't look at that.
There was a reason why stuckeys advanced stats looked good.

A leading metric for a point guard's ability to run a five man offense is "assist percentage". This number reflects the percentage of teammate field goals a player assisted while he was on on the floor. Knight assisted 20.8% of his teammate's field goals in 2011-12, which is one of the lowest assist rates for a rookie point guard in recent NBA history. In this century, Knight ranks 122nd in assist percentage amongst rookie guards.

Some people point to the fact that Knight didn't have a summer league or a preseason to get to know his teammates or his coach's system. Neither did Kyrie Irving (36.5% AST), Ricky Rubio (37.4% AST) or Isaiah Thomas (25.6% AST). Others suggest that Knight's assist rate was low because his team shot poorly. Kyrie Irving's Cavaliers, Ricky Rubio's Timberwolves and Isaiah Thomas's Kings all shot worse than Detroit last year.

At some point, we need to set aside the excuses and look at the truth: Brandon Knight was a really, really bad point guard last season.
